GNSS Orbit Determination
September 8, 2022 | 2:00-3:00 pm, ET
Presenter: Dr. Josh Jones,Geodetic Orbiteer, Continuously Operating Reference Station Branch, NGS
- How NGS determines where satellites are in orbit and how they move.
- Why understanding satellite orbits is important to the Global Positioning System.
- What NGS does with created satellite data products referred to as ephemeris.
Satellite orbit dynamics is a critical part to the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) infrastructure. In the age of space-based observations, it is an important concept to understand when discussing measurements taken with the Global Positioning System (GPS). Without the understanding of satellites and their produced data; GPS and other navigation systems would not work. This talk will introduce the basics of GPS and satellites while focusing on:
